Help (or those damn newbs!)

[colin davidson]

Hi,

I've just had a similar problem during an install. Can't guarantee any help,
but just in case...

What is the output from "hwclock"?

If you reset the time with "date" is the time correct after that (at least
until you reboot).

If you reset the time with "date then set the hardware clock with "hwclock",
does the time stay correct after a reboot? (This was my problem).

Also, if you are using localtime, make sure you don't set using "hwclock"
with the -utc flag (and vice-versa).

Cheers, Colin
